It’s been a busy, exciting and inspiring year here at Reach! Highlights include our first ever spring program (read all about it in our spring daily blog posts) and our first ever 7-week summer (again – find out all about it in our summer daily blog posts). We’ve also welcomed more students from all over the world, visited more countries than ever before and we’re on track for another amazing year in 2018! See some of our stats below to find out more.
